Key Stats for the Round Lake Trail - 565
About
Trailhead on the right. Well signed. A hike-in campground.
A short quarter mile to the lake. Keep left at the fork in the clearcut. There are developed camp sites and potties. Not maintained. Trail loops around the lake. Careful over collapsed bridge. Trail worse around the back side-very brushy.
Nice habitat. The old trail to Rhododendron Ridge departs from the second potty up the creek. All that shows is old blazes. No tread. Probably leads to a clearcut before arriving anywhere useful.
Very long drive. Need to go around by way of Cachebox Meadows.
Bears are a problem.
Directions
Travel Hwy 224 thru Estacada to Ripplebrook. Continue thru Ripplebrook and immediately after crossing the river, continue straight on Forest Road 46. Travel approximately 26 miles to Forest Road 6350. Turn right onto Forest Road 6350 and travel 4 miles to Forest Road 6355. Travel for 2.5 miles on Road 6355 to the parking area for the trailhead. There should be signs.
